This chapter introduces the Crystal Enterprise Framework and the components
that make up its architecture. It describes how each of the services that are
part of the Crystal Enterprise Framework operate and what role they have in a
universal information infrastructure. The chapter also discusses the benefits of
having a distributed architecture that allows an enterprise reporting system to
not only scale up on a single physical server but also provides the flexibility
to scale out across multiple machines.
